ANTHOLOGIES

“You Know What’s Going On” - Paul, Sam, Nabil and Benjamin—two CIA agents, a Somali terrorist, and a Kenyan policeman are thrown together in unexpected ways, ending with a house on fire.

From Agents of Treachery, edited by Otto Penzler. The subtitle says it all: “Never before published spy fiction from today’s most exciting authors.” (also available as a solo ebook)

“Hungarian Lessons” - Olen Steinhauer finds himself in serious trouble again, this time in Budapest. Sex and politics, cocaine and a big frame-up make him, momentarily, “more famous than Dan Brown—in Hungary.”

From Expletive Deleted, edited by Jen Jordan. “In this gritty, gorgeous collection of short stories, new and veteran crime writers alike celebrate that granddaddy of all cusswords; that most adaptable and descriptive grouping of letters; that searing, offensive, musical, perfect sound: fuck.”

“The Piss-Stained Czech” - In the mid-nineties in Prague, a Joyce-obsessed, budding writer named Olen Steinhauer is drinking himself into inaction, when his friend, Toman, invites him to Dublin. The real estate business turns deadly for members of the New Europe. A cameo by Bruen’s Jack Taylor.

From Dublin Noir, edited by Ken Bruen and featuring a wonderful cross-section of today’s best crime writers.
